The Confidence Journey -- 005 Numerous rejections and Confidence

Throughout our life, we go through numerous rejections- Uncountable rejections ! We go through numerous rejections for many things in our life, like but not limited to rejection from family, friends, love, career etc. As an Indian my personal experience is nothing sweeter, Indians tend to mix rejections with luck. Those who are in a bad situation / going through alot of rejections are called people with bad luck. I have been called unlucky during the pandemic era, when I was not getting a good paid job. Well, guess what? I did get a job. But it just was not the right time for me, I had to go through alot of situations to refine. In Fact I learned from rejections to be what I am today and I have alot to learn for the future. A person's life begins and ends in learning, our learning journey never completes. Hence, rejection is to be taken as a personal failure.


But rejections have a very bad influence on some of us, we tend to believe that we are inferior to others and we are incompetent or might lack something. Well, if there is a knowledge deficiency there is ample time to learn and correct it. But if we give up, we won't know if we are truly capable and to what extent. Some people take rejections so deeply that they are left with wounds of embarrassment and uncertainties. Once you believe that a door is closed, then until you start believing it will open one day, it won't. The power is within you. Rejections scare us, failures scare us. They sometimes scar us. We have great potential, say, untapped potential but inner strength to give the same thing a try again and again until you succeed is what we have to build. We don't have to be extraordinary, we just have to be an ordinary person not ready to give up.
